(a) The second event is dependent on the first.

P(E₁) = P(white) = `4/7`

There are 6 balls left and out of those 6, three of them are red. So the probability that the second one is red is given by:

P(E₂ | E₁) = P(red) `= 3/6 = 1/2`

Dependent events, so

`P(E_1 and E_2) = P(E_1) × P(E_2| E_1) = 4/7 × 1/2 = 2/7`

(b) Also dependent events. Using similar reasoning, but realising there will be 2 red balls on the second draw, we have:

`P(R R) = 3/7 times 2/6 = 1/7`
